Big question and food for thought: Did Lee Iacoca in bringing out the Mustang take a lesson form the Spitfire? Both cars were essentially reworked from existing sedans (saloons) already being produce

Joe, I love the theory, but that sort of thing wasn't exactly new even in the 1960s. After all, in the mid-1950s, Ford basically shrunk a full-size Ford, plunked one of their larger V-8s in the engin

Yeah but only because they are "cute" or valuable, not because they are a true Sports Car. "Car and Driver" magazine did not rate it very highly in their first report on the car! 8^) Joe -- "If you c

I'm going to butt in here For me, a sports car is a two seater, manual transmission-and certainly not much larger than a 512 BB (certainly one of the larger sports cars or Ferrarris for that matter.)

Anyone who has seen Rich's elegently coiffeured form will realise he's speaking from experience. My 'barber' (don't confuse the two!) has a MK1 Golf GTi. He used to have both a Vitesse (a while ago)
